PALLET COLLARS

 

WHAT ARE PLASTIC PALLET COLLARS?

Pallet collars are an accessory to flat pallets, offering a more efficient packaging solution than traditional wooden boxes. They consist of 4-6 panels which are placed on top of wooden or plastic pallets, transforming them into complete storage or shipment containers.

Pallet collars can be securely stacked on top of each other to increase height, allowing for the storage of more items on a single pallet. They can also be easily collapsed when not in use, saving valuable storage space. RGE’s plastic pallet collars can be customised, with unique colours and the capability to print your logo to suit specific branding requirements.

PLASTIC OR WOODEN?

While wooden pallet collars make up around 90% of collars used around the world, plastic collars offer a variety of benefits that wood simply cannot. Wood is seen as a sustainable resource for making pallet collars, however, RGE’s plastic pallet collars can be made from recycled materials and can also be ground down to be made into a new product when broken or no longer needed. Plastic pallet collars generally last longer than wooden collars and need to be replaced less frequently, whilst wooden collars are prone to splinters and other forms of damage which can be a danger to those handling the collars; plastic collars do not pose this risk. 

There is also the added benefit of plastic collars being lighter than wood, which is advantageous from a logistics point of view – the collars are easier to handle and move quickly, whilst remaining strong and durable. Plastic pallet collars are easily cleaned and can be wiped or washed without damaging the collar. Wooden collars can be hard to clean, especially when wet, which can lead to fungus and bacteria growth in the wood. This makes wooden collars unsuitable for the transportation of food, drink and pharmaceutical goods. Wooden collars also require heat treatment before they can be used for international shipping, unlike their plastic counterparts.
